Directed Electronics HT80ic Speaker User Manual


 
final installation
The speaker is held in place with four mounting clamps that are part of the assembly. When shipped from
the factory the clamps are pivoted so they will fit into the mounting hole. When the mounting hole clamp
screws are turned, the clamps pivot outward and are then drawn downward until they press against the
back of the mounting surface.
Insert the speaker/mounting bezel assembly into the mounting hole. Hold the speaker in place in the
mounting hole and evenly tighten the four mounting screws to draw the mounting brackets against the
backside of the wall. Gradually tighten the screws, moving from one to another, until the speaker is firmly
clamped in place.
custom painting
Paint the speaker frame and grill before mounting to the wall; paint grill and frame separately.
Before painting, mask the recessed area of the speaker to completely protect the speaker drivers.
After painting the grill, gently blow through its perforated holes to prevent paint clogging.
operation
checking the system
Listen carefully to each speaker. If you hear buzzing or rattling noises, remove the speaker and check for
a speaker wire or other objects touching the speaker assembly. Adjust the tweeter level and aim the
tweeter for the desired effect. When you are satisfied with the installation press the grills into place.
tweeter protector
If a speaker sounds "dull", or "lacks "brilliance", you may have activated the tweeter protector. If high
power operation causes the tweeter to stop playing, turn down the volume control until normal sound
resumes.
